Gori 20x14x3LHx1:10W30 Folding Propeller – 3-Blade, Ø20", Pitch 14", Left-Hand, for 30 mm ISO Shaft
The Gori 20x14x3LHx1:10W30 is a high-performance 3-blade folding propeller designed for 30 mm ISO shaft installations. Introduced in 1994 and honored with both the DAME and HISWA Awards, this propeller redefined marine propulsion for larger sailing yachts and motor sailers, offering the benefits of low drag under sail and high thrust under power.
Key Features
- Diameter: Ø20"
- Pitch: 14"
- Blades: 3-blade, folding design
- Rotation: Left-hand (LH)
- Shaft Compatibility: 30 mm ISO shaft, taper 1:10
- Engine Range: 10 hp to 300 hp
- Overdrive Function: Adjustable pitch during forward motion for lower engine RPM, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced vibration
- Efficiency: Proven +15% thrust improvement in both forward and reverse
- Noise/Vibration: Minimized through advanced blade curvature and profile
- Drag Reduction: Folded blades provide a low-profile shape, increasing sailing speed
- Anti-Fouling Design: Blade geometry prevents entanglement with debris
Performance Under Sail
The streamlined folding design minimizes resistance, significantly increasing sailing speed. Its unique shape resists fouling from seaweed and plastic debris, eliminating the need for a shaft brake when used with hydraulic gearboxes.
Performance Under Engine
Independent tests confirm a 15% efficiency gain in both forward and reverse propulsion compared to standard folding and rotary propellers. The advanced blade curvature and precise rotation enhance thrust output, even under lower engine loads.
With over 25 years of proven performance, the Gori 3-blade folding propeller remains a trusted solution for yacht designers, builders, and performance sailors worldwide.
